With the deepest of regrets I am announcing that I will be leaving Pro Sports Daily. No reason in particular but wanted to thank everyone for a great 6 years here. Lots of great discussion and good poll series as well. Also fun re-drafts. Best of luck to you all in the future.

So they were pretty much neck and neck, but I'd give MJ the advantage based on the things mentioned.

Excellent post!

I chose Shaq because of the easy scoring that he gets and the reason being that I don't think anyone was more dominant than Shaq in his prime, but what you mentioned here is very compelling and it proves that is not a slam dunk to just say Jordan because he's Jordan and he's the greatest. I mean as far as careers go and winning championships... then it obviously isn't as close.

Shaq was really great in his prime but there were ways to limit his effectiveness at times (deny him the ball, force him to shoot free throws). Jordan did not need anyone to set him up. For that reason it is Jordan in my opinion.

I'm always happy to discuss anything from hoops, to hockey, to reality TV with anyone that is polite no matter what their opinion. With that said if you are disrespectful or dishonest poster please do not expect a reply.

Jordan was as productive if not more so and as efficient. But also he wasn't a liability on the floor especially not in crunch time. You could hack a Shaq and throw him off his game, you couldnt do that with MJ. Also MJ could get the ball whenever he wanted while Shaq needed to depend on others to get him the ball unless of course you believe he can bring the ball up the floor in a tight situation.
